@MrsB2019x yes I've done that and lots don't see anything at that point so it wouldn't be unusual. I think I implanted early based on the twinges I had at 5-6dpo and then the 9dpo bfp so I'm hopefull I may see even a tiny sac but we'll see!

Ah brilliant, you'll hopefully get a heart beat (or 2 😉) by then 🤞🏻. I was planning on waiting until 8 weeks until this one was recommended

@SS123456 Hopefully you’ll see the beginnings of something! Have they said that they will rescan you at all to check progression?
Definitely not 2 😂 it would be so unlikely. That and the second sac/fluid is such a weird shape that if it was a second I doubt it would be viable anyway

SS123456 · 20/12/2020 19:37

@MrsB2019x they haven't really told me anything as it was just the nurse that rang me. I guess I'll find out tomorrow 🤷🏻‍♀️

@SS123456 hope you get on ok at your scan tomorrow! X

@MrsB2019x sorry you've been feeling a bit rubbish but as SS says, it's a good sign! And great news that you've hit that first milestone too x

SS123456 · 20/12/2020 22:22

@whambam89 thank you! I'll let you know after 😊🤞🏻

OP posts:
MrsB2019x · 21/12/2020 07:39

@SS123456 Good luck for your scan today! x

SS123456 · 21/12/2020 07:51

@MrsB2019x thank you, I'm feeling pretty nervous! I had to do a frer check this morning just to be sure I was still pregnant beforehand 😂. I'm losing the plot 🙈

Good luck @SS123456

whambam89 · 21/12/2020 09:00

@SS123456 that's 100% something I'd do 😂 hope it all goes ok x

SS123456 · 21/12/2020 09:11

Thank you @Sansa87

😂 @whambam89 I just imagined turning up and them saying I was not pregnant at all and then doubting myself because I didn't check this morning to be sure lol

I'll let you know how it goes xx

Good luck @SS123456 - looking forward to your upstate of two sacs 😉

Keeping everything crossed for you.

Update from me, AF arrived. I'm hoping as fertile week will happen whilst away from work that I'll be less stressed about everything and that may make a difference (that's literally all o have now, ridiculous hope).

MrsB2019x · 21/12/2020 10:16

I’m so sorry @kirinm Flowers I really hope relaxing will do the trick for you!

Definitely no mistaking that line @SS123456! 😁

SS123456 · 21/12/2020 11:10

😂 @kirinm. Thankfully there only seems to be one so far! It's a ridiculously tiny sac which is apparently as expected for how far along I am and is in the right place with a good lining. They are going to scan me again on the 7th Jan

@SS123456 @Rotagilla @kirinm @Sansa87 @MrsB2019x
Hello all. Really hope you don’t mind me chipping in. I’ve been looking for a TTC group and found this one. I’m 38 and have been ttc for 13 months now. Starting to lose hope and would love to compare notes! Hope you doing mind me chipping in xxx

whambam89 · 21/12/2020 12:25

@kirinm sorry that AF arrived, fingers crossed a chilled time off is the answer for you.

@SS123456 glad everything is as it should be! Imagine how much it will have grown by January 😍

whambam89 · 21/12/2020 12:28

@Annabel19 sorry to hear you're having a tough time, you're in good company here and it's been a lucky thread so far so fingers crossed for the rest of us 🤞

I'm 31, have a 3 year old DD and started trying in Oct 19 for our second. Had an ectopic pregnancy early in the year treated with methotrexate so couldn't start trying again until June.. currently about to enter my FW of cycle 8 since then (I think??)

MrsB2019x · 21/12/2020 12:32

Aww how cute @SS123456! Glad they’re rescanning you too 😁

Welcome @Annabel19! You’re in good company these are an amazing bunch of ladies ☺️ We’ve all had our fair share of shit too, sorry you’re feeling like you’re losing hope x

Annabel19 · 21/12/2020 12:48

@whambam89 So sorry to hear about your ectopic. Must have been awful. Such a stressful time. I had a chemical last May but nothing since. Wondered if anyone on her knew anything about Clear Blue fertility monitor? I’ve been using Clear Blue opks and wondered of this is better!?! Xx

Hi @MrsB2019x thanks xx It’s a nightmare!! I’ve got high hopes for 2021 though! Fingers crossed for us all. Things will hopefully look different next Christmas. I’m being referred to the hospital in Jan for tests .. feel like this should have happened sooner since I’m 38!?! So glad to hear others on here have had good luck xxx

whambam89 · 21/12/2020 13:00

@Annabel19 I think @sansa87 used the clearblue fertility monitor so might be able to help. I used their digital one for a few months but it started getting too expensive so stopped using it as it clearly wasn't helping me get pregnant either 😂

SS123456 · 21/12/2020 13:03

Welcome @Annabel19 😁, you are more than welcome to join us. I'm 37 and had a bfp last week which I am cautiously hopeful about. We had been trying for 15 months in total (I did fall on month 13 but miscarried at 5 weeks)

OP posts:
SS123456 · 21/12/2020 13:04

@kirinm I'm sorry that af arrived but at least you can now relax over Christmas and get some festive baby making fit in. When is your fw?

OP posts:
SS123456 · 21/12/2020 13:06

@Annabel19 I did look at the monitor but I didn't think it looked much different to the digital ovulation sticks so didn't bother with it in the end

OP posts:
Annabel19 · 21/12/2020 13:10

@SS123456 massive congratulations! That’s absolutely great news! I know what you mean about being cautiously hopeful. If and when I get pregnant again I’ll feel the same .. very frustrating when people tell you to relax when it’s taken such a long time to get there! Still unsure about the fertility monitor .. feel like I’d try anything. Also thinking about giving up alcohol but seems a bit drastic! X

Annabel19 · 21/12/2020 13:12

@whambam89 Thanks. Yeah, I’ve been using the opks and they don’t seem to have helped me either! X

SS123456 · 21/12/2020 17:54

Thank you @Annabel19 ! Do you record you basal body temperature? I have found doing that really helpful
